File and Folder Shortcuts (General Availability)
Overview
A few weeks ago Files and Folders Shortcuts functionality was initially introduced with limited availability and has now progressed to being generally available (GA). This feature is available to all customers on Platform plans.
These shortcuts are native to the Egnyte file system, and are OS independent (unlike Windows or MacOS shortcuts). Users can create the shortcuts using the WebUI or the Desktop App. Once a shortcut is created, the users can use it to navigate to the target file using the Mobile App, Desktop App, or the WebUI.
Using shortcuts, users can centralize & manage their data in one place, but put shortcuts to the content in multiple places as needed, without duplicating data or storage.
Creating Shortcuts using the WebUI
In order to create a shortcut, right-click on the File or the Folder and choose the ‘Create a Shortcut’ option. A new shortcut would be created with the default shortcut name. Once created, a shortcut can be copied, renamed, moved, or deleted just like any other item. Anytime the user clicks on the shortcut, whether the click happens in WebUI, Desktop App, or Mobile App, they would be automatically redirected to the underlying original file/folder.
User Activity Monitoring (General Availability)
A couple of weeks ago, User activity monitoring functionality was initially introduced with limited availability and has now progressed to being generally available (GA).
This feature updates the existing user export from Settings→ Users & Groups → Users to have a more accurate “Last Active” value which thoroughly accounts for all types of user activity based on audit logs. It also expands the export to describe the user’s most recent activity details and period of inactivity in the form of the following columns.
- Most recent activity type
- Most recent action
- Days inactive
This feature also adds a “Last Active” value to each user profile for easy reference within the UI.
Issues Addressed
Inaccurate Audit Events After User’s Deletion
There was an issue where an incorrect admin might have been shown in the user's private folder delete audit event after user’s deletion. This situation might have occurred when ADKit was used. The issue has been resolved.
